In second part, I will discuss two next games between Wang Lei 8p vs Kong Jie 7p and Lee Sedol 9p vs Zhou Heyang 9p. In first game after lucky win in 1th round Wang Lei play very strong game against Kong Jie, but unfortunately he lack of ko threat in letter middle game fighting and in the end lost the game by resignation after 242 moves.

In second game Lee Sedol who take black stones choose diagonal opening. Zhou Heyang choose variation from Chang Hao 9p - Lee Changho 9p game from 9th Nongshim Cup, but Lee Sedol play hane from outside and build thickness.
Unexpectedly Lee Sedol play very good opening, but his real strength he show in chuban when he play many interesting exchanges. First black 73 made interesting exchange. Both player capture 4 stones but black gain also a lot of territory in right side.
Next black play at 103 (1 on Dia.1) and prepare interesting trap with black 3 on Dia.1. Normally white 2 is bad but because of possibility of huge moyo in center white don’t have other way to stay in game so he is forced to play white 2. After Black 3 white white also can’t connect because black will play at 4. Up to black 7 black gets a lot of territory on bottom side.
Next players play normal endgame, and after 205 moves Zhou Heyang resigned , After really great game Lee Sedol advance to 3rd round of Ing Cup.
